Content production processes currently experience a shift in focus. Due to the growing trend of highly individualized learning scenarios they have to face and to combine a multitude of different standards. The European eContent+ network of Excellence ICOPER researches possible strategies and implementations to deal with this new situation. In its course the project develops a comprehensive set of prototypes that use, evaluate and propose extensions to a large number of currently relevant standards such as IEEE RCD, SCORM or OAI-PMH. This paper describes a collaborative, re-use based authoring approach that was realized with one of these prototypes.
